Amr,

(from the BOEXI_Admin_en.pdf):

New users are created as named users

New user accounts are configured to use named user licenses.Named user licenses are associated with specific users and allowpeople to access the system based on their user name and password.This provides named users with access to the system regardless ofhow many other people are connected. You must have a named userlicense available for each user account created using this option.

New users are created as concurrent users

New user accounts are configured to use concurrent user licenses.Concurrent licenses specify the number of people who can connectto BusinessObjects Enterprise at the same time. This type oflicensing is very flexible because a small concurrent license cansupport a large user base. For example, depending on how oftenand how long users access BusinessObjects Enterprise, a 100 userconcurrent license could support 250, 500, or 700 users.

After reading all of this I'm still not sure what it all means, other than "it's a licensing thing". Good luck!
